After being sacked from AC Ajaccio it remains to be seen where Ravenelli's next role will be. It is rumored a return to Italy, his homeland, is on the cards but he is also strongly linked to returning to England.

"I feel stronger for the experience at AC Ajaccio and it just wasn't to be. I have no hard feelings toward the club, however, I do feel that given more time we would have turned things around. I am open to new opportunities now and am thinking about staying in Italy, but I would like to go to the Premier League should the right club become available."​

I've struggled in recent weeks to enjoy any saves I've done... so decided to go to another country I've not managed in for a few years in FM.

Am excited about a new challenge, hope people enjoy this story!!

"Massimilano Allegri leaves Juventus due to bizarre bust up"
After only recently replacing Conti at Juventus Allegri has left the club claiming that he was brought to the club on false pretenses. It is rumored that Allegri was looking to cash in on Paul Pogba with interest from Manchester United, Real Madrid & Chelsea. However the board blocked his attempts to make the sale and Allegri felt uncomfortable working with such restrictions and decided that enough was enough.

Paul Pogba is hot property at the moment and subject toa pending transfer bid from oversea. Juventus are keen to hold onto their man as they look to build a squad around their star man. The pressure is on to quickly install a new manager in time for their pre season preparations and they are looking for someone who is already familiar with the club.

The first thing to do is to access the squad. With expectations of winning Serie A and a Semi Final place in the Champions League it is important we start winning from the offset. We've got a very strong squad and will certainly be able to compete to a high level this season.

Here are 3 players that stand out right from the start. I really feel that they will all be key members of the team this season and I will look to play in a manor that looks to get the best of them.

Tactical plans

This will be my preferred tactic this season and I'll be training intensely in pre season in order to master it. I am keen to play from the back and feel that with the holding midfield player that Pogba & Vidal will be able to get forward to support the front 2. We will look for Tevez to play in the 'False 9' role to create space for the striker to go in to. We've got some great options for the wing backs and our defense looks stong.

We've not got much to spend, and we've very little wage budget remaining so if we're going to add to the squad we will have to sell first. Chelsea & Man Utd are interested in Bonucci but I am not looking to sell anyone in my first team plans. Simone Pepe has left the club on a free transfer due to being surplus to requirements.

We have been handed a really tough group and it will be tough to beat Real Madrid & Liverpool to guarantee a space in the knockout stages.

We are preparing for our first fixture of the season at home vs Atlanta. The game is to be televised and the expectant supporters will be hoping for 3 points.

Good luck with Juventus.

The first game of the season saw us host Atalanta.

Juventus 1-0 Atalanta
We got the victory that we were expected to get, but, it was not as convincing as we'd have liked. Man Of The Match Marrone found himself in the starting lineup due to injuries to Pirlo and Marchisio and he got the goal that proved to be the winner. We will need to improve quickly as the Champions League fixtures are coming up in a few weeks time.

September Fixtures
Parma (Away)
Real Madrid (Away)
Napoli (Home)
Verona (Away)
Genoa (Home)

With the game against Parma being on the 13th September we look to have a packed end to the month with games coming thick & fast. We will be looking to build on our difficult win against Atalanta and hoping that we're able avoid defeat in Madrid.
